No procurement proposal in production plant for material with SPK 40

[Former Member]

Hi,

We have the typical scenario for production in other plant than the selling plant. We are using Stock transfer orders for the produced materials. For that purpose in MRP2 the respective materials are set up with special procurement key 40 and the necessary plant settings are done.

When MRP is run by t-code MD02 (after the sales document is created) everything is OK - there is the purchase requisition in planning plant and the planned order for production in the supplying (production) plant. It is different when MRP is run by MD03 - no planned order is created in supplying plant, and planning should be run separately at supplying plant level for the same material. What kind of configuration I am missing, so that a planned order in supplying plant to be generated automatically by the time the MRP is run at planning plant level?

Regards,

Temelko Stoilov

MD02 plans multi-level whether it is multiple level of bom structure or multiple level of requirements. In your case it keeps on planning the requirement until it reach the end, meaning until where it is finally produced in-house or purchased externally.

MD03 plans only single level which is why it just created the PR, which can also see in MD04 for production plant.

There is consulting note on further knowledge on the subject: Note 76301

Thank you Jeevan.

I supposed this is the case however, I could not find it described in any documents or books. Everybody is explaining the multi-level with the BOM structure but not the plant level. I hope your advise is well-grounded on the SAP documentation.

Hi Temelko,

you need check below settings,

1.is the planning strategy you are using?

2.Have you maintained BOM and routing for that if it is in house prodution in plant B.

3.Check the MRP type is PD.

4.And check the planning file entry is there in MD21.

5.If not create planning file entry in MD20.Then Run MRP in plant B.

6.Ensure that the Material Master in the Supplying plant has the BOM Explosion indicator (tab MRP4) set as "1 - individual requirements only". 

Use special procurement key as 40.

With special procurement key 40, the requirement is passed to the issuing plant. For example if you create a sales order in the planning plant and run MRP, then a planned order/purchase requisition is created automatically in the issuing plant based on the procurement type given in the material master in the issuing plant.
